This week: Ufology\Aliens

Antonio Villas Boas was a Brazilian farmer who claimed he was abducted by aliens for about four hours in 1957. He was either 23 or 25 years old depending on which account you read. What makes Boas' abduction experience unique is that it involved mating with a hot alien babe, and a guided tour of the space ship afterwards. 

Antonio Villas Boas is the main character in a pretty frequently cited alien abduction case. His story includes three sightings chronologically close together – the first one was simply a mysterious beam of light shining outside his bedroom window late at night. The second sighting was an actual craft out in a field. This encounter included Boas kind of chasing the ship around, the ship intentionally trying to keep it's distance.

The third sighting is the juicy one. Boas was on a tractor in his field when the ship appeared and came right towards him. He described it as egg-shaped with red light on it's front. Boas felt he was endangered and tried to flee, but the tractor he was on died. He jumped off into the deep mud, but was grabbed. he blindly punched his attacker, knocking it on it's back. Three other entities then grabbed him, forcing him aboard their ship.

Boas screamed at his abductors, and when he did they looked fascinated by his ability to talk. Their communication was described as sounding like a form of barks and yelps.

The beings forcibly stripped Boas of his clothing, then lead him into room. Once inside the room he said the door he'd come in through vanished into the wall, leaving no trace of where he entered. Some strange things happened to Boas in the next little bit. His naked body was covered in some weird gel substance by sponge wielding aliens, more aliens came in to gather blood samples out of his chin with hose-like instruments, and some gas was pumped into the room making the man violently ill.

Enter the naked woman. Boas describes this part best in a very, very lengthy quote:

"I was flabbergasted, and not without good reason. The woman was stark naked, as naked as I was… moreover, she was beautiful… her hair was fair, almost white, smooth, not very abundant, reaching to halfway down her neck and with the ends curling inwards and parted in the centre. Her eyes were large and blue, more elongated than round, being slanted outwards like the slit eyes of those girls who make themselves up fancifully to look like Arabian princesses… her nose was straight, without being pointed, nor turned up, nor too big. What was different was the contour of her face, for the cheekbones were very high, making the face very wide… the face narrowed very sharply, terminating in a pointed chin. This feature gave the lower half of her face a quite triangular shape. Her lips were very thin, hardly visible. Her ears were small and appeared no different from those of the women I know… her body was much more beautiful than that of any woman I have ever known before. It was slim, with high and well separated breasts, thin waist and a small stomach, wide hips and large thighs. Her feet were small, her hands long and narrow, and her fingers and nails were normal. She was quite a lot shorter than I, her head reaching up to my shoulder."

Boas went on to describe the woman's seductive moves:

"[She] began to rub her head from side to side against my face. At the same time I felt her body all glued to mine and also making movements. Her skin was white and on the arms was covered with freckles… I began to get excited… I think that the liquid they had rubbed on my skin was the cause of this. They must have done it purposely. All I know is that I became uncontrollably excited sexually, a thing that had never happened to me before. I ended up by forgetting everything and I caught hold of the woman, responded to her caresses with other and greater caresses… it was a normal act, and she behaved just as any woman would, as she did yet again, after more caresses."

And then they did it. Yup, they did it. When they were done the other aliens called the woman out of the room. They gave Boas back his clothing, and gave him a tour of the ship as a 'reward'. Some of that tour is recorded here:

"the [guide] pointed out to me the three metal shafts I have already mentioned, solidly set in the sides of the machine and right in the front… the position of all three was horizontal… they were giving off a slight reddish phosphorescence, as though they were red-hot. However, I felt no heat."

Then they turned the Brazilian lose in the same field they'd taken him from. He got back on his tractor, but it still wouldn't start. Closer inspection showed that someone had disconnected the battery.

Not too long afterwards Boas contacted a ufologist who'd put an ad in the paper looking for people with extraterrestrial experiences. He's been terribly sick and weak after his encounter. The ufologist contacted a medical professional who described Boas' case like this:

"Among [Boas's] symptoms were 'pains throughout the body, nausea, headaches, loss of appetite, ceaselessly burning sensations in the eyes, cutaneous lesions at the slightest of light bruising…which went on appearing for months, looking like small reddish nodules, harder than the skin around them and protuberant, painful when touched, each with a small central orifice yielding a yellowish thin waterish discharge.' The skin surrounding the wounds presented 'a hyperchromatic violet-tinged area."

And there you have it. A man who claimed to have been abducted with a slew of weird medical strangeness to back his story up. Not all people believe him though. A similar story had been printed in a periodical not too long before Boas' own account. It's argued that the farmer read this, and adapted it to be his own story.

Fiction or non-fiction, it's a fascinating tale.
